If you find Stassney funny, that's a you problem.

I find his brand of caustic humor funny. I thought it was funny when he was bumping the Biden thread (pro-Biden, anti-MAGAT) too.

Dawned on me that the Surly username @Ag with kids describes, not a family man, but a salesman. At least that is what tracks as a continuing supporter of this regime.

I have 9 kids.  That's where it comes from.

The ATV and dirtbike rides are in fact bullshit, they’re dangerous and disrupt traffic and that is the entire goal.  It’s OK to point out that dozens of kids on dirtbikes or ATVs shouldn’t be clogging major thoroughfares. 

As @Bateshorn has pointed out, DC genuinely does have a “teen” disorder problem that regularly metastasizes into real-life consequences for regular people. It’s been a conscious choice by local authorities not to deal with it. That doesn’t mean that deploying the guard is needed, but at the same time people get tired of “just live with it” as a response to stuff that is a real quality of life issue that can be solved. 

Yeah,  what you don't get is that the complete lack of opportunity is the driver in shit like this. 

Hopeless people will resort to thrill seeking and crime to just be able to feel alive for a time. 

I'm guessing you've never been completely hopeless. Instead you're bitching like the fuckwits in dirty dancing about these shiftless kids. 

The shittier shit gets for these kids the more they act out. I just hope they do it on your lawn next time so you can run out and yell at them

This is the most Virginia post I've ever seen "Why would you take the Metro to Tidal Basin when you can GET IN YOUR CAR!!!!!"

The Dirt Bike thing is annoying as fuck. 

@956 Worldwide is right. Certain elements of the DC City Council (*cough* Charles Allen *cough*) have continued to advocate for lax criminal enforcement in the name of criminal justice reform long after it's become apparent to everyone involved that DC has a teen crime problem, that will require both increased enforcement in conjunction with reforming and rethinking DC's criminal code and general approach to crime. 

Quit being annoyed by downtrodden people living it up the only way they know how. 

Mind your business and either fix the underlying causes or shut the fuck up and let people let off steam.

The fucking gen alpha folk have nothing to look forward to in this life.  The same fucking advantages you had in life are fucking gone. For good. 

You motherfuckers sound like boomers with all the fucking advantages in your life.

If your parents or you are on Social Security, get ready for no cost of living increases. Since they are tied to BLS’s inflation numbers, Trump will compel reports of no inflation, even when it’s 4% and SS recipients will be screwed.

This is well known internet behavior its not weird, its not some new rule and its not some new moderation style. 

 

Maybe this is the mindset that has gotten us from the most prosperous and wealthy nation on the planet to having a radicalized, rogue political party launching a hostile takeover of the government. Led by the countries' biggest grifter, liar, and pedophile. A country on the brink of a civil war half the country doesn't want and half are too stupid and delusional to know better.

Why do you guys respond to the troll? He feeds off that. He posts outrageous bullshit just to get a reaction out of a few specific posters and some of you keep stooping to his level. Put him on ignore and then he’ll be posting to no one and eventually find somewhere else to troll.

There are a whole lot of posters here who can’t grasp the concept, try as we might to explain it to them. I’ve seen a number who have learned, though, so we have to keep beating the drum.

Ignore the trolls. Don’t feed them. You think you can’t let their bullshit go unchallenged. Yes you can. And should. By responding to them and quoting them you amplify them and reward them. You dignify them with your response and help them to achieve their goal of derailing thoughtful discussion. What you think your response is going to achieve is having the exact opposite effect. You’re not winning, they are. You’re getting trolled and it’s not a good look. And you’ve been falling for it FOR YEARS. Have you ever changed someone’s mind? Have you ever seen one of them say, “You’re right, I was wrong?” Of course not. Because they’re playing a different game. And you keep falling for it to the detriment of communal discourse.

I find him peculiar and interesting, I stop and read, I haven’t spent enough time to figure him out. A bit, maybe? An enigma wrapped in a riddle, probably. A grown ass man who knows, but he’s got a lot of people throwing their arms up so I mean, hashtag winning?

There really are two problem posters here - well for purposes of this discussion - and to be clear there are all kinds of other problems but the trolling behavior is a problem, is Stassney one maybe I don’t care to evaluate and rarely engage him because what the fuck do I know? But the other problem IS the drive by rage poster.

i have a lot at stake here, and i don’t drive by rage post very often. It’s 100% useless. You THINK it helps but it’s actually quite harmful. First no one listens. I can’t tell you how many of the reputable posters I flat out scroll past when I see their name because I assume it’s a drive by rage post. But more importantly, rage posting releases the endorphins for you and makes you feel like something good happened, but guess what, nothing happened, not one fucking thing.

you mad? 

Volunteer, protest, donate money, run for office, vote, go to public hearings, go to council meetings, talk to your kids, do something besides fucking rage post.

rage posting is a complete and utter waste of time and resources.

Republican Sen. Mike Lee's pornography ban is moving forward in the Senate

A Republican bill that would ban all pornography federally is advancing within the Senate.

Utah Senator Mike Lee's Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA) has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for review. If approved, it will go to the U.S. Senate for voting.

The law would alter the Miller Test, which was established in the 1973 Miller v. California Supreme Court decision that determined "obscene" speech is not protected by the First Amendment. The test defines obscenity as material that "appeal  to prurient interests as judged by the average person; depict sexual conduct in a patently offensive manner; and lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

The IODA would remove the “community standards” benchmark for determining obscenity, and would remove the provision clarifying that sexual conduct must be depicted in a “patently offensive” manner to be considered obscene — labeling all phonographic content as obscenity and rendering it illegal nationally.

The bill instead defines obscenity as material that “taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion; depicts, describes, or represents actual or simulated sexual acts with the objective intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify the sexual desires of a person; and taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”

The plan to outlaw pornography is outlined in Project 2025, the 900-page document created by the conservative extremist Heritage Foundation that provided Trump with a blueprint for his second term. The first page of the document equates transgender people and drag queens to pornography, and the fifth page calls for a nationwide ban.

"Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare," it states. "It has no claim to First Amendment protection."

"Pornography should be outlawed," the paragraph continues. "The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered."

Congrats? Still, the point I made concerned supporting Republicans while displaying a kid banner. It implies you are fine with cutting the safety net for children, separating children from their immigrant parents, and, well, the whole pedophile President thing. I made a shitty remark. You vote for shitty policies and people.

The law would alter the Miller Test. The test defines obscenity as material that … lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

This is a flawed argument. As once posited many moons ago by pronghorn, the question still remains: how does the ass take the length? Science.
